Rick Porcello Comes Back

Hey, I’m the victim of my own haste. I loved Rick Porcello in the beginning and I had him all over the place. He had a couple of shaky outings so I ditched him.

I should have known.

Porcello has been up and down. Tonight, he was pretty awesome.

Porcello blanked the Twins for 7 innings, threw 3 K’s and wound up with an even 1.00 WHIP. That’s pretty good, but how good are the Twins and how reliable is Porcello? He’s got the stuff, but it’s just a matter of what stuff he has when he steps on the mound. There’s no arguing, he’s going to be atop the rotation at some point – or, with the way Verlander is throwing again, he’ll be a solid 2 eventually. A great sign for the Tigers and anybody with Porcello in a keeper league.
